I would eat fried grits in the morning, maybe, if they were crispy. I may try that. I was watching a cooking show where they made crispy polenta cakes and thinking that sounded good for breakfast. With crisp bacon, natch.

((whisper)), the good news is that while kicking holes in the wall might not be the best coping strategy, the wall seems to be self-repairing. Hope you're okay. How are your kitties?

I am having a pajama day today. That's what I am calling it instead of "Don't feel like getting dressed." In an effort to feel more myself, I am baking pumpkin-buttermilk rolls. But I still feel like...I feel out of juice. I have a therapy appointment this coming week, and I find myself partly thinking why bother even going because it's not going to change anything?, and partly thinking Duh, this is probably the best time to go when I'm not wrapped in silver lining with my stupid rose-colored glasses on.

sorry I'm trying so, so hard not to go off on one

I do believe it is National Stay in your Pajama Day.

Some people put them in a loaf pan not plastic wrap to set.

Thanks, I've never had fried grits. I frequently have leftovers, though, which aren't the easiest to reconstitute. I'm trying this tomorrow.

All this talk of curb-worthy significant others makes me wonder if I ought to give up on dating entirely. (Which, okay, wouldn't take much encouragement--I *abhor* dating. I'm so sick of guys being nice to me for the sole purpose of getting into my pants. I'm a sex-positive person and all but dang. Not an object for another's use.)

Haha. Hey, just call Uber, it would be worth the money

I'm at odds with my H today for keeping making decisions (big decisions) on his own. I'm taking a mental note of your plan just in case

My daughter got invited to her first birthday party from a girl in her preschool class so I'm spending some time doing that today. Trying to keep my mind off things and it helps being out since I don't SH in public places with them around.

I love grits. I don't eat bacon anymore but dang that sounds good even so!!!

My h is on a long distance delivery to Los Angeles right now he should be back in a couple hours though. He left last night at like 7pm or something.

Dec 01, 2018 at 04:25 PM

When I met my H almost 19 years ago at the ripe age of 21...even though he was 31....it was pure bliss. Lots of fun, going out every weekend, partying hard, large group of friends and lots of sex. Now we are just older, tired, fat, and totally ignores important matters...like finding a way to get our basement water proofed so it stops flooding every time it rains.

I didn’t date Mr. Murse. We just went SIM card shopping.

How big is the hazelnut inside of that?!

The giant one doesn't have anything inside it- it's actually hollow.

The thing is it was around £8 and looked pretty, but I'd rather buy a large box and carry out my uber important chocolate research.

heh well.... i'm getting my mojo back. when i started working at home which was exactly when all the overtime started and son announced he was moving out and I decided to leave therapy all at the same damn time (which I have not done yet of course, no surprise there haha) i stopped feeling my feeeeeelings and started eating them again and gained about 8 lbs back. BUT! since t and i got me feeling again i've started walking every day again and lost back half of what i gained so I'm almost back to the point where i can start losing again.

(sorry you asked? haha!)

See I am a huge fan of having people in my life who, erm, want to go SIM card shopping with me. Because then everybody knows what the deal is and everybody gets what they want.

But if I'm going on a proper date it feels different somehow. I mean, it's 2018; if you want to bang a stranger, open up Tinder and find an enthusiastically consenting partner. Why bother buying me coffee and chatting me up if what you actually want is a damn SIM card, not to meet someone you might eventually want to be in a relationship with? THERE IS A SIM CARD STORE RIGHT OVER THERE WHY ARE YOU GOING TO THE COFFEE SHOP WHEN IT DOES NOT SELL WHAT YOU WANT TO BUY.

*harumph*

Birthday suits are all the rage, just think of all the washing you don't have to do!!!

But I do love Christmas themed ones.

I am SOOOOO glad this stats class is almost over. I am so done with it. That last chapter was horrid, analysis of variance. Ain't NOBODY got enough time for THAT. Especially while working 58 hours a week. I probably failed the exam but I don't even care that's how glad I am to be done with that chapter.

This current chapter seems much easier, I just started my homework and already have the first 4 problems done. it's about correlations, the Pearson correlation.

I am feeling like a chatty cathy at the moment.

I get what you mean. I want a SIM CARD but also something deeper.
